Devin K. Moon: Polk man wanted 'new life' with 13-year-old girl

A 26-year-old Winter Haven man who investigators say had online sex with a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl was arrested Friday.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office became aware of Devin K. Moon in August, when the girl's father found evidence of their relationship, deputies said.

Moon met the child through the online gaming site kabam.com in June, investigators said.

They exchanged phone numbers and she told him her address and the name of her school. As their conversations became sexual, he sent the child a picture of his genitals and she sent him nude photos, the Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies went to Moon's home Friday. He told them he planned to travel to Wisconsin Oct. 5 and bring the girl to Florida, where they would "start a new life together," they said. Moon told detectives he planned to meet the girl near dumpsters behind her school, which he found on online satellite maps.

Moon said he planned to change his name to Raven Moon and call the girl Infinity Moon and claim she was 23, investigators said.

He also said he intended to disguise the girl. Detectives said they found a wig and a small woman's shirt at his home.

According to his Facebook profile, Moon is a rapper, lyricist and author.

He told detectives he moved from Oregon to Winter Haven in 2010 to be with a 17-year-old girl he met online, they said. When he arrived, the teen's grandmother told him to leave.

Moon was arrested on charges of attempted traveling to meet a minor, lewd or lascivious conduct, possession of child pornography, interference with custody, using a computer service to seduce, solicit or entice, distributing obscene material to a minor and using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

He was being held Saturday at the Polk County Jail. Bail was set at $85,000.
